ON BOOKS AND COUNTY OFFICES.
P. N. Hansen, Foreman-Sir: The books
In the Auditors Office we End In perfect
order. The T~reasurer's books and cash
are all correct. Cash on hand, &c. 71 80.
The County Clerks books are In good
condition. We find a trifing difference
(about ten dollarsJ between the balances
OF the County superintendent OF Schools
for 1883 and 1884, and the Treasurer OF
this county, which they can doubtless
trace up easily.
We cannot report any knowledge OF the
collection OF licenses OF 1883, 1884, 1885
and 1886, except the total amount paid
into the Treasury, no books being found
OF daily transactions, as IL seems there Is
no statute providing for such books.
We find the book OF Brands and
Marks" in the Auditors office to be in
bad shape for future reference, and would
advise the County Commissioners to have
a book made to suit the requirements.
We find that the County Clerk for 1883
and 1884, M. G. Cevansugh. used q APP
propriated moneys Of the county to the
amount of $685. 40, as reported to a pre-
vious Grand Jury by an expert employed
for that purpose, and has never been paid
to the Treasurer of this county.
The books OF the Justice of the Peace
are in proper shape and in good order.
The Constable has his books Of record in
admissible shape. b. JOHNSON,

ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

P. N. Hansen, F~oreman-Sir: your
Committee on Public Buildings respect
fully submit the following report:
We have examined the hospital carefully
and must say, in all candor. that we have
never seen o building Of its size. where
fewer apartments are suitable for hospital
purposes; therefore, in order 10 have q
comfortable and convenient hospital,
we must build a new one. We
examined the schoolhouse. and found
10 In good condition. excepting
the roof, which was leaking badly. We
recommend its being repaired immedi-
ately. We also examined the Courthouse.
We recommend that a carpet be put on
the floor In the Grand Jury room; also,
two dozen clothes hooks be put up on the
walls of the same room, and that mating
be put in the hall from the head OF the
stairs to the courtroom door. Also, that
one dozen spittoons be purchased for use
Of the building. We found the building
and furniture in very good condition, ex'
cepting being very dirty. We request the
janitor to give them q thorough cleaning
and to keep them so. We examined the

COMMITTEE ON FIRE AND WATER.

P. N. Hansen, F~oreman-Sir: We, your
Committee on Fire aud Water, respects
fully submit. the following report. to wit:
We believe the existing contract between
the county and the water company is as
rood as can be made under the circum-
stances. We believe our fire department.
to be as efficient az any in the State, and
should be encouraged by furnishing them
supplies to the full extent warranted by
the Fire Fund. We find the water tanks
for fire purposes full and OVERLOOKING; we
find the fire hydrants all in good condi-
ton, excepting the one on MOI Hill, in
front OF M. M. Johnson's house. That
one is leaking, and we recommend moving
IL to one street east as soon as the condi-
ton Of the ground will permit. We have
conferred with the different companies OF
the fire department and ascertained their
immediate wants. and we respectfully rec.
ommend that the County commissioners
purchase for each of the companies some
substantial hand lanterns and extra globes.
For the Rescue Company, rubber gaskets
for their hose. and some repairs on their
building.
For Mob Hill Hose Company. some re.
pairs on building and some kind of fire
alarm.
For Richmond Company, some slight
repairs on building and fire apparatus, and
some supplies for the Knickerbocker Com
buckets. And we advise hat
the ladders be altered and made lighter, IS
they are too heavy and unwieldy for use.

COMMITTEE ON HOSPITAL,
P. N. Hansen, Foreman-Sir: We, your

ing kept in its different departments in a

blankets were in a much worn and thread
bare condition, you rcommittee made a rep
r~esentation Of this to the Honorable
Board OF County Commissioners, who
promptly took measures to furnish such
additional material as was required, and
also to have some slight alterations made
to improve the light and warmth of one
OF the rooms, which has rendered IL much
more available for the accommodation and
the comfort of patients. We find at pres
ent eleven patients in the institution. nine
male and two female, all apparently
pleased with the management. as they
